What a fast weekend this has been! It was our first trip to the Jersey Shore since Hurricane Sandy. The amount of recovery that has taken place since October is really incredible.
Despite the fact that it was still eighteen billion degrees out and the air conditioning was temporarily broken, it was a wonderful weekend! Beyond the fact that we beat the traffic both ways (huge summer travel win!), highlights of the weekend included being with my family, laughing so hard I was crying after walking walking a little bit too long in the heat (can you say delirious?), seeing my friend from growing up, and a trip to my all-time favorite chocolate store. I may or may not have left with about a pound of candy just for me.
This week for Keep It Sweet Desserts I need to really get down to business in terms of reaching out to holiday clients and networking. The summer is slipping by way too quickly and my long list of things to do is still there. Time to bust my butt! The good news is that one of my very best friends from college is staying here next weekend. Not only am I excited to spend a couple of days with her, but I am also super excited about the Saturday we have planned. Can you say NYC Ice Cream Tour? That is not a joke. I have at least a dozen spots on the itinerary so far.

Thanks, Ashley!
A weekend at the beach sounds AMAZING!! I would consider going to the Jersey Shore but all those Chris Christie commercials and that song have been driving me crazy. I feel like I have it stuck in my head nonstop!
